"FOR PRECISE, LIFELIKE COLOR"
A camera stops time and preserves the beauty of a moment forever. To capture the beauty in the precious moments of your life, the Ricoh GR10 brings together the essential elements of professional-quality SLR camera systems a
nd crafts them into an incredibly simple, exceptionally accurate high-performance camera.
The quality of the GR10 begins with the 28mm F2.8 GR lens, which consistently provides the high contrast, clear resolution photographs that other compact camera
systems just can't deliver. That means fewer wasted shots. And the camera's slim body and compact, lightweight design make the GR10 so easy to use that you'll spend less time looking at that perfect moment-and more time capturing it.
Optimum lens constru
ction delivers optimal imaging performance...
Low -distortion natural image capturing performance from the 28mm lens is the result of a lens assembly that incorporates seven en all-glass elements ( including five multicoated elements) in four groups as
well as the camera's extra-bright 2.8 F number. Meanwhile, efficient design ensures that the lens assembly fits securely into the camera's compact body.
Superb colour reproduction brings your photographs to life...
The lens assembly used in the G
Rl0 was designed to meet the demanding technical requirements of colour slide film. Combining excellent colour reproduction performance and a neutral colour contribution index, the GR10 allows the user to explore new photographic possibilities with exacti
ng results.
Multi-autofocus advantage
An extremely, accurate passive type autofocus system sets this camera apart. The GR10 is so advanced you can focus clearly even on objects located behind a pane of glass. The multi-autofocus framing ensures a
clear shot for off centre subjects too. And symbols in the view finder provide a handy guide for precisely focusing your shot.
A bright-frame viewfinder that's easy on your eye...
The GR10's viewfinder presents the information you need at a glance
so that y on can focus on taking exactly the shot you w ant. And the professional-quality optics feature a bright frame viewfinder that utilises ambient light. so that framing the right shot is always a pleasurable experience. (View finder is automatical
ly illuminated in low-light conditions.)
Durable body construction
The GR10's body is crafted from an aluminium alloy that combines lightweight design with impact- resistant durability.
Ultraslim profile
Here is a compact camera that lives
up to its name: except for the grip, the camera body is barely thicker than a roll of film! Specialised CPL circuitry. the flash mechanism, and a 10mm motor are among the Ricob original technologies featured.
Pure-winding preserves your precious phot
os
The GR to features an automatic pre-winding sys-tem that draws the film entirely out of the cartridge when the film is initially loaded . This pre-winding system acts as a failsafe because the camera "winds up" exposed film into the cartridge. Even
if the back of the camera is opened accidentally in mid roll, your precious photos are safe.
Super Night Mode
Night time photography has a reputation for difficulty but Ricoh's exclusive Super Night Mode makes precise night photography u reality
. The camera first focuses on infinity with the flash off then takes a second exposure focusing on y our subject with the flash on, so that distant scenery and the nearby subject both appear perfectly in focus.
Macro Photo
Go ahead, get up close a
nd personal with your subject. You can move in up to 35 centimetres and still he assured that the Macro Photo function on the GR10 will give you clear close-ups with a minimum of distortion.
Automatic Backlighting Compensation
No more black-outs!
With other cameras, miscalculating the angle of light can result in a disappointingly dark subject. The GRl0 electron-ically detects a strong backlighting situation and automatically compensates with the flash.
Close-up Soft Lighting
Close-up phot
os using a flash present a difficult problem. Too close and you're faced with flash "white out" from too much light. Sensors in the GR10 lower the flash to a level appropriate for perfect soft-light results. even when the subject is at close range.
Da
ylight Synchro Mode
Sometimes you're faced with a situation in which the background is brighter than the foreground. By setting the Flash Mode Switch, you can easily adjust the GRI0 to balance the level of illumination by boosting the amount of light
on foreground subjects.
Time Exposure Mode
The delicate shades of moonlight often requires a timed exposure to capture. But most compact camera systems haven't offered timed exposure features - until now. With the Time Exposure Mode on the GR10 yo
u depress the shutter button, and the aperture stays open until you press the shutter button again. There's even a convenient counter that displays exposure time for up to 60 seconds.
